Letter to the Editor: Election problem

DEAR News Of The Area,

MY wife and I went to a polling station on Saturday, and she told the election officer at the table her surname, which was Quick.

She knew there could be a problem when he started looking around the letter W.

Then despite explaining where the letter Q was in the alphabet he still couldn’t find it, so she moved to the next table where my son and I had already received our voting slips.

Maybe more testing on election officials might be required.

Regards,
Trevor QUICK,
Bonville.
